Gardens for Connoisseurs Tour

This 26th annual self-guided tour showcases 13 gardens in the metro area, and for the first time, this Mother’s Day tradition will feature 11 private gardens that previously have not been open to tours. Most of the gardens are small spaces – offering a wealth of design and planting ideas - but the Buckhead estate of The Home Depot founder and Falcons owner Arthur Blank and his wife Stephanie will also offer a feast for the eyes when it comes to large spaces. Proceeds from the tour benefit the Atlanta Botanical Garden, and ticket holders receive free admission to the Garden on the two tour days from 5 to 7 p.m. A map of the gardens will be provided with ticket purchases, and attendees can start at any of the locations.
